WASHINGTON, Feb 1 (Reuters) - The United States is
deeply concerned about Russia’s supply of military equipment to
Myanmar's junta and will continue to seek ways to limit such
cooperation between the two countries, a senior U.S. State
Department official said on Wednesday.
Speaking in a telephone briefing on the two-year anniversary
of Myanmar’s military coup, U.S. State Department Counselor
Derek Chollet told reporters that Washington would keep up
efforts to find ways to increase sanctions "to make it difficult
for the country to acquire arms or to generate revenue."
